3600 km/min = ? m/s

OpenStudy (ash2326):

We have \[3600 KM/min\] or \[3600 \frac{km}{min}\] 1 km=1000 m 1 min =60 seconds \[3600\times \frac{1000m}{60 sec}=3600\times \frac{1000}{60} m/s\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Can you take it from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=(3600x1000)/60 m/s =60000 m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i cant

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Did you understand my approach?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=3600×100060m/s I dont understand how you got that

OpenStudy (ash2326):

1 km= 1000 m 1 min= 60 sec Do you know these unit conversions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what units is 3600 in for both sides of the equation?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

we are given 3600 km/min need to convert into m/s 1 km=1000 m 1 min=60 sec so multiply 3600 by (1000/60)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 60000m/s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you mind helping me with another question?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

yes, you're correct:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES! Thank you so much :)
